After a brief flashforward of him assaulting her, Billy tells her to stay away. There’s nothing that goes better with ice cream than a fair helping of Cold War conspiracy.Īt the pool, Karen tries to apologize to Billy, who is looking a bit worse for wear, for standing him up in the previous episode. Scoops Ahoy is thus far functioning like a secret headquarters for the heroes, and I’m fond of that idea. “How many kids are you friends with?” she asks Steve, slightly aghast at the prospect, but she quickly finds herself roped into deciphering the transmission. Thankfully, Dustin and Steve still have a great relationship and Robin slots right into the dynamic. Both groups decide that the best course of action is going to the mall.Īlready at the mall is Dustin, who wants Steve’s help in translating the Russian communication. Mike does the same, imploring Lucas and Will to help him atone. After having been warned off by Hopper - who is extremely pleased with himself - Mike makes excuses not to see his girlfriend, who quickly sees through the facade and turns to Max for advice. But “The Mall Rats”, true to its title, has other business to take care of first: Namely, Mike and Eleven’s relationship. The best part of it all: Steve shares the secrets behind his awesome hair with Dustin, which pays off in incredible fashion at the Snow Ball.We’ll return here briefly later. The baseball bat with nails in it comes along for the ride, of course, which he thankfully doesn’t need to use when he gets into a season finale fight against Billy ( Dacre Montgomery), the new bad boy in town.
As for Steve, he gets one of the best and least expected stories of anyone this season: joining forces with Dustin and the rest of the kids as their veritable babysitter. By the end of the season, Nancy and Jonathan are a romantic item, and their actions have caused the Hawkins lab to shut down due to public scrutiny. Their relationship ends around the same time Nancy and Jonathan Byers (Charlie Heaton) team together to seek justice for Barb (!!!), which they manage to achieve by watering down the truth of the season one story and sending it to numerous newspapers around the country. Speaking of Nancy, she’s caught in a temporary love triangle of her own, beginning the season dating Steve Harrington (Joe Keery). Don’t feel sad for poor Dustin he gets to dance with Nancy (Natalia Dyer) at the end of the day. (Eleven, for what it’s worth, still needs some convincing.) Lucas and Max grow close over the course of the season, even leading to a kiss between them in the final scene at the Snow Ball. The group comes to accept Max, even if it takes Mike longer than the others before he’s on board. 
While Eleven’s away from her friends, another new girl enters the scene: Max (Sadie Sink), a skateboarding arcade wizard who immediately draws the infatuation of Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) and Dustin ( Gaten Matarazzo). Eleven briefly joins Kali and her band of outcasts on their quest to kill everyone associated with the Hawkins program, but she eventually leaves because she senses the growing danger back home in Hawkins. 
Eleven gets frustrated with Hopper’s overprotective rules and breaks out on her own, leading her to meet her own mother, learn more about the experiments at Hawkins Lab, and even meet one of the other members of the program: Kali ( Linnea Berthelson), also known as “Eight,” with the power to make people see anything she wants them to see.
Far away from all of this action: Eleven, who has spent the time between seasons one and two living in a cabin deep within the Hawkins forest, with Hopper serving as her secret guardian. 'Stranger Things' Creators Explain the Darkest Turn of Season 2 Hopper is the one who discovers the subterranean threat spreading underneath Hawkins, while Joyce immediately senses trouble within her son and sets about unraveling the meaning behind the “shadow in the sky,” which she’s able to see thanks to the help of a video recording and some tracing paper. For their part, Sheriff Hopper (David Harbour) and Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder) are incredibly proactive in the new fight against the Upside Down. A third of the way through the season, the Mind Flayer possesses Will, turning him into an unwitting “spy,” all while sowing roots throughout the underground of Hawkins in an apparent plan to bring the Upside Down right-side up. It turns out that he’s being targeted by a massive smoke monster of sorts, nicknamed the Mind Flayer by Mike (Finn Wolfhard) and friends. Despite returning from the Upside Down in season one, Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) has been unable to shake his connection to this shadow dimension.
